For the above problem i decided to use mod_php instead of suphp and the site is working properly. Thanks to God and the community for all the help. Now i have some small additional issues that i need to take care off.

How can i configure the server such that it stores mail. Want the mail to be accessible by both webmail (squirrelmail) and outlook. Secondly when i am doing the subdomain for example webmail.uwasnet.org i dont understand what the redirect path means or how to go about the entire issue of subdomains?

Till it is self explaning....i have actually tried doing that. The problem is when i save the sub domain the main site changes from what it was. When i enter resource.uwasnet.org the main site www.uwasnet.org either doesnt work or it gives me the default webpage (index.html) yet joomla is already installed and running.

So i asked to get the right procedure minus stating the problem. please forgive me.

Till i want the subdomains to have there own folders separate from the main site, coz they have there own joomla installations and i dont want to create the subfolders for the domain in the main folder is why i was asking about using redirect or i just create the sub domains as websites of there own? Secondly i have to prevent resource.uwasnet.org from looping back on www.uwasnet.org. My problem is having the different sub domains work so i am wondering if i can configure them as website of there own with there on user (ftp, database and shell) to login in instead of login into www.uwasnet.org.
